i have one of these too. Different brand but its the same thing. I have the 4 point docking hardware on my RG and i just tuck the antenna under that. In fact it stays there all the time. Never had any problems with it. If i did i wouldnt care cuz it only cost me $5.

What is the length on those and doesn't it rub on the paint when tucked? Bryan

I mounted 2 antenna's in the fairing and used a splitter. The reception is a lot better but I use XM most of the time.

Theyre about 12". No it dosent rub. It gets tucked under the 2 nubs that the detachable hardware hooks onto. Its not wedged between the paint and bracket. Seriously go the the local autozone parts store or whatever store you have there and check them out. Theyre about $5 and the store will probably take it back if it doesnt fit your needs.

I may have to try that.

I mounted my Sirius hockey puck inside the fairing... ACQUIRING SIGNAL every minute or so.

Ordered one of those cone shaped scoot-specific sat antennas and placed it inside the fairing - even worse.

Back to hockey puck in plain sight.

I can't find the antenna on the web that I've got on my bike, I paid $ 30.00 for it, It's 9" tall and is outta the way from the QD tour-pak........the wires that wrap around it are done up as black flames. Works Great, just unscrew the stock one and replace. But if I would do it all aver again I'd probably snap this lower priced one up. I mean there is only so much you can do with any antenna.http://www.ebay.com/itm/96-97-98-99-...08085085054676
Or, Harley has this little cuttie...http://www.ebay.com/itm/Billet-Anten...item35b6364158

I have the J&M Hidden CB antenna. I also connected the Stock CB line to the secondary antenna connection provided off of the J&M antenna. I just coiled it under the side cover just in case I wanted to connect the other CB antenna. But I found the J&M antenna is just fine.
